KerrieO36028873 I didn't know she? was a comedian Netflix getting very desperate

KerrieO36028873 Oh good! Hannah is hilarious.

KerrieO36028873 She’s lame, kinda of a Karen, and very unfunny

KerrieO36028873 I’ll stick to Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle on Netflix, be interesting to see the viewing numbers.

KerrieO36028873 Post comedy comedian

KerrieO36028873 As long as the transmitter radiocommunication telecommunications devices that Gadsby uses are law-abiding and don't interfere with anyone else. Great Gatsby though, is strange modeling, to talk manners with. I wouldn't do the disabilities/ things/ devices - too much sabotage.

KerrieO36028873 I’ll pass

KerrieO36028873 Go woke - go broke.....wait for it.

KerrieO36028873 We are not interested in this area trying to become mainstream. Tolerance of different positions yes, BUT no promotions thank you very much. Some things not relative or subjective.

KerrieO36028873 Throw some money as a talentless hack to get the diversity tick

KerrieO36028873 Boooooooooorrrriiiiinnnnnnnggggggggg

KerrieO36028873 This has to be a troll, toilet humor as an adult is more funny than Hanna's 'comedy'. Let's see if they cancel her the moment her viewer numbers fail to fill a toilet cubical 😆

KerrieO36028873

KerrieO36028873 I might watch that show if I am overcome with a spontaneous fit of uncontrollable laughing and want it to stop.

I thought Netflix's business model was supposed to be to try and get *more* people to subscribe?

KerrieO36028873 “Hannah Gadsby” added to muted words on twitter now. No idea who that is and don’t care any further.

KerrieO36028873 Comedy is such a personal thing..No person can tell another that you must find it amusing..It will pass or fail on its success with the public

KerrieO36028873

KerrieO36028873 Give me Dame Edna any day.

KerrieO36028873 Can I get some multi-title, mutli-million dollar oppression like that please? She has been lauded all over the internet for her shows, held up as a role model and star, and we're still supposed to believe that so-called queer folk can't catch a break?

KerrieO36028873 Am I supposed to know who she is?

KerrieO36028873

KerrieO36028873 I was under the impression that comedy was suppose to be funny

KerrieO36028873 How fast will this be cancelled? Netflix might just take the loss too…

KerrieO36028873 Still coaching Hawks AFLW?

KerrieO36028873 How? She's not funny.

KerrieO36028873 Maybe with all that money she can try and buy some talent.
